Neither the President nor his attorneys will participate in Wednesday's House Judiciary impeachment hearing, they said in a letter to Chairman Nadler
In a letter to Chairman Jerrold Nadler, White House counsel to the President Pat Cipollone said,"We cannot fairly be expected to participate in a hearing while the witnesses are yet to be named and while it remains unclear whether the Judiciary Committee will afford the President a fair process through additional hearings.
More importantly, an invitation to an academic discussion with law professors does not begin to provide the President with an semblance of a fair process. Accordingly, under the current circumstances, we do not intend to participate in your Wednesday hearing."Cipollone said they would respond separately to the Friday deadline about their participation in future hearings.This is a breaking story and will be updated.
